Wrapping With Thrifted Scarves

I stood in front of a bin of knitted scarves at Goodwill one day, wondering how I could upcycle them into some fantastic something-or-other to take advantage of their beautiful patterns
With some very minimal sewing, I found it was quite easy to turn 2-ply knit scarves into gift bags of all kinds, but wine bags in particular.
You start by cutting a section of the scarf to the length that you want your final gift back. If you want to make a wine bag, cut it about 15-16" long.
Sew one end shut (that's the bottom).
Hem the other end (that's the top).
The red ones are my absolute favorite. String a couple of pom poms and wrap them around the top and you're good to go!

I was inspired by this project as well as a few other ways to use those beautiful scarves we all have a few too many of. Thank you for the article. Gift bags are a wonderful idea! I also thought about artwork matting, table runners or place mats and of course, knapkins. First creative brainstorming for the upcoming holiday season 🌺

What a great idea. As I read your comments, it sparked another idea, how about using the sleeves of sweaters or shirts as well. I love when one idea leads to another. Thanks heaps!
